"The Bear of Kinmen." An ROC Army M5A1 light tank on display on Kinmen Island, Taiwanese Republic of China. This light tank took part in the defense of Kinmen Island during the final stages of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, where in it ran over hundreds of Chinese communist troops that landed on the beaches.

The Government House, formerly the governor's residence of the U.S. Virgin Islands, now dubbed as the "Atlantic White House" or the "Caribbean White House" since it is the seat of power of the United States Atlantic Remnant. Notably it is located in Christiansted rather than the capital of Charlotte Amalie.

USAF E-3 Sentry in Saudi Arabia, pre-Doomsday, 1983.
As of 1983, at least 500 American military advisors were in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, four USAF E-3 planes, also known as Airborne Warning and Control Systems (AWACS) and several aerial tankers had been stationed in the country for three years to provide early warning to the Saudi military in the event of an attack. Most of the nation's military equipment had been purchased from the west, especially the US.
